Bad Relationship Habits That Harm Your Health

unhealthy Relationship habits can Harm Your Health

They say that your relationship status can help to improve your health from helping to reduce your chances for becoming ill to living a longer life with fitness and exercise at the top. However, what they don’t say is that just like a relationship can help your health a bad one (or rather parts of a relationship) can do just as much damage to your health. Take a look at these bad unhealthy relationship relationship habits that can harm your health and why.

Four bad unhealthy relationship habits that can harm your health

1. The “Letting Go” Effect

In a recent study conducted by the University of New York it was found that people tended to gain 10-30 pounds once getting settled into a long-term relationship. The reason why so many are prone to this bad relationship habit is that once you’ve found someone to be with your are less conscious about your looks and let yourself go. Ranging from not exercising as much to eating more and worrying less about your outward appearance. Weight gain, even an additional 15 pounds, can put added pressure on your body which can affect everything from your heart function to your hormone balance and more.

2. Stress from the Relationship

All bad relationship habits can incur stress whether it is problems communicating, financial issues, not seeing eye to eye with everyday matters or something else. Stress can cause the body to be in a constant state of nervousness and worry that makes the organs work harder just to function properly. Stress can also play havoc with weight, hormones and emotions, doubling up on the stress already from in the relationship.

3. Sleep Problems

Sleeping next to the person you love can do a world of good to help you relax and get a more restful sleep. Hoever, if your spouse has sleep issues such as snoring, insomnia, sleep apnea or the like you can end up have sleep issues right alongside them. In a 2005 poll done by the Sleep Foundation, the results showed that the people polled reported a higher chance of fatigue and interrupted sleep if their sleeping partners suffered from a sleep issue themselves. So if you suffer from this bad relationship habit get help for yourself or your partner.

4. Depression from the Relationship: bad relationship habits

Much like stress, depression can have horrible affects on a person’s body. If a relationship is experiencing turbulence those within it are more likely to experience mild to severe depression. When a person is depressed it shows both inward and outward from a less happy demeanor to a reduced appetite (therefore a loss of weight), all of which can put added stress on the body.
